KING sunset flight from Bourg St Maurice/Les Arcs

Children can fly from the age of 5 if they really want to and without being forced to. However, if a child refuses to fly at the last moment, reimbursement will not be possible.

For education, the minimum age is 12.

Flight time depends on a number of factors. The first is your weight! The lighter you are, the longer you stay in the air on an altitude flight. But this is not true on an ascent flight where weight is less important. The second factor depends on the air mass conditions of the day. An air mass is said to be “carrier” when it extends the flight time, we discover it at the time of flight, it is difficult to predict and we do with what nature wants to offer us. The flight time is therefore random on altitude flights but the gliding sensations are always the same.

In winter, your usual ski outfit is enough, but don't forget gloves, sunglasses and neck warmers. In summer, bring at least pants, a windbreaker jacket and walking shoes or sneakers with adherent soles. During the flight, the temperature drops by about ten degrees.

In winter, a ski pass is not necessary, but a pedestrian pass is essential to take the lifts. You can buy it at the cash register or online.

In summer, the price of your flight includes the pedestrian pass.

Paragliding is a sport with risks, like all sports. Our instructors are professionals who do their utmost to reduce them, but zero risk does not exist. Beware of companies that claim the opposite!

In summer, all takeoffs are done on foot. In winter, taking off on skis or snowboards is recommended, but it is possible on foot with the agreement of our team.

Although a problem is very unlikely, there is no such thing as zero risk. For the safety of you and your future child, we cannot accept pregnant women for our activities. You will have plenty of opportunities to participate after birth.

Vertigo, the illusion that the environment is spinning or that you are going to fall, is surprisingly uncommon in paragliding for the majority of people. The main reason lies in the lack of close and fixed visual reference points. At altitude, far from the ground and from immediate objects, your brain has fewer elements to interpret a relative movement that could induce this sensation of rotation. Your broad field of vision, embracing the horizon, also helps maintain your spatial orientation.

In addition, a typical paragliding flight is characterized by smooth and progressive movements, which are less likely to disturb the delicate mechanisms of the inner ear, the main seat of our balance. The concentration of pilots and passengers on the landscape and the sensations of the flight also tends to distract attention from potential signals of imbalance.

Absolutely! Our pilots will accompany you, and you can fly up to 8 people at the same time on the same schedule.

In the event of weather constraints, we will postpone your flight, internship day or snake gliss activity to a later date depending on your availability. Unfortunately, if the weather prevents Mountain Attitude from offering you your activity while your voucher or stay is valid, you can choose between a voucher valid for one year or a refund. However, Mountain Attitude will not be responsible if you are not available on the proposed dates.
